The INSPIRE Program (International Student Professional Readiness Education Program) is a 3-step mandatory, badged internship and career success program exclusive to Pace, designed to help international students find internships and full-time positions.

The program is required for CPT eligibility – international students on an F1 visa who plan to intern are required to complete the INSPIRE during their 1st academic semester.  Completing the INSPIRE program during the 1st academic semester opens the door to Career Services events and programs, including Experiential Learning Labs and the Community Impact funded internship program.

INSPIRE is proven to empower international students to achieve extraordinary results in internships, jobs, and salary outcomes that exceed the national average, year after year!
